Get the Best Sleep of Your Life
Now in South County - Clayton Sleep Institute
Now conveniently located in South County, right off of Tesson Ferry and S. Lindbergh, Clayton Sleep Institute has been the driving force behind providing a comprehensive approach to sleep medicine and more importantly to overall sleep health when treating patients.

Joseph Ojile, MD, FCCP, DABSM, founder and CEO of Clayton Sleep Institute in Missouri, started this institution in 2001 and has made a career out of providing comprehensive sleep careto patients and making sleep health a vital component of good health.

Dr. Ojile, who graduated from the Saint Louis University (SLU) School of Medicine in 1989, first became interested in sleep medicine during his pulmonary fellowship at SLU. “My mentors exposed me very early in my career [to sleep medicine]. What got me excited about it was the fact that the physiology was so interesting and the ability to effect a meaningful change in people’s lives was very tangible,” says Dr. Ojile. “My colleagues and I got to the point where we decided that in order to pursue sleep in a method that we really wanted to, which was this comprehensive approach, we had to do it on our own in an independent venue,” he says.

Dr. Ojile recognized that this approach would encompass treatment and services that would “pay for themselves” and others that would not; but regardless of dollars, they would “enhance the quality of patient care and the patient experience.”

“Clayton Sleep Institute’s independent status allows us to be more flexible, incorporating various areas of sleep medicine and science into our research and diagnoses,” he adds.

At Clayton Sleep Institute, sleep is not a novelty - it is vital to a person’s health, as diet and exercise. Recognizing that good health is a multifaceted undertaking. Good sleep leads to better health and a better life for patients.

CSI’s comprehensive, 360-degree approach looks at the physiological, behavioral, emotional, and communal aspects of sleep medicine and sleep health when treating patients, a diverse population that includes sleep apnea, insomnia, restless leg syndrome, narcolepsy, and periodic limb movement disorder sufferers.

“Through each practice, the CSI team strives to reach the same goal for each patient: Better sleep. Better life,” Dr. Ojile says.

At the heart of CSI is its sleep clinics, which provide diagnosis and treatment for patients with sleep disorders such as sleep apnea. But equally importantis CSI’s Insomnia Center. In addition, Dr. Ojile and his team are proud of the center’s work diagnosing and treating insomnia and nocturnal behaviors. When treating the former, CSI’s Insomnia Center pursues two fundamental pathways—cognitive behavioral therapy and pharmaceutical—used alone or in combination with other alternative therapies (bright light therapy, relaxation therapies, or alternative medicine strategies suchas acupuncture) to devise a treatment plan that will best meet the needs of the patient. “There’s no pharmaceutical ‘miracle’ for insomnia. Defining insomnia is simple, but diagnosing the causes and selecting the correct treatment are not,” says Dr. Ojile.

We want you to come to CSI and have a meaningful scientific experience—meaning, having an experience where you feel like you understand the reasons ‘why’ the team is doing what they are doing. We want you to have a comprehensive or holistic, understanding of sleep in your life.

Headquartered now in South St. Louis County, CSI has another location in Farmington, MO and 6 other hospital partnerships. They have expanded their services to rural areas of the state, opening several rural locations to provide services to patients who otherwise would not have convenient access to sleep care.
